USNA Class of 2025 Appointments Update-Entire-List-Yourself

The regional admissions coordinator said that I-day would be June 29th this year (contrary to the July 1st date we've been hearing). We get dropped off on that day, and then quarantine for the 10 days after we are processed. Not sure if that week and 3 days count towards the total of 7 weeks or not. From my understanding, while we're in our rooms during the 10 days we do some form of training, and then continue "standard" plebe summer from then on out. The admissions coordinator was also under the impression that the academy was aiming for a normal second semester.

So, would quarantine apply for those who are fully vaccinated?
 
Whole lot of scuttlebutt going on in this thread (rather than a separate thread based on OFFICIAL news)- the purpose of this thread is to post appointments :)

I am guessing this was generated from USNA admissions?
What is remaining is NAPS and Foundation?
This is just an educated guess as I’m new to all of this...
Please let us know.
Thank you!

The graphs are likely just based on the thin data slice of total appointments this thread captures from self-reporting posters who happen to find SAF. Not official.

I was told my parents won’t be seeing the doors close either, nor would there be an oath ceremony for the class of 25. My mom is really down about it, it’s a shame.

It is hard...BUT, it’s NOT the most important thing. I’ve learned neither is taking the Oath (my plebe and about 60 others missed it as They were in iso at the time...watched their peers from their windows). USNA is within you. Not outside, and done TO you.

Someday it will be a story. And I promise, to you mom, that as time passes, the disappointment dissipates. IG may take a minute, but it does.

Something to keep in mind, is this new method MAY become the norm. There is something to the intimacy of holding this privet event with only your mates. Iday, as neat as it is, was a circus.

The just of it all, however, is that it’s out of her hands. It is what it is...at least that’s what has gotten me through the disappointments (may still be a little salty about the Oath, tbh. And yes, he sent it up The COC. At one time? Thought it would still happen...).

When you hear this door of Bancroft BANG shut? I suspect surreal will sharply become REAL.

The tenacity of reapplying, determination to not give up, and picking yourself up after those two disappointments show the grit and resilience needed...WTG 😤

@justdoit19 you got me over here crying with the figurative language !!! :)
 
Just my perspective as the mom of a 2024.

@justdoit19 is spot on. We sent our plebe out June 29th alone on a plane, and I cried at the airport. And the grocery- the next day when out of habit I threw his favorite pizza in the cart (had to leave the cart and step outside for a bit), it does get better. Besides you-tube videos and FB posts, I didn't know what I was missing. I still don't. I have yet to visit the Yard since he reported. I miss him, sure. But with cell phones and FB we get live updates, far more than my grandma got when my dad was there.

Would I have enjoyed Parents Weekend and the pomp and circumstance? Damn straight I would have. I did grieve it all in the beginning. Not going to lie, I was a little bitter and salty about it. But, we survived, and one day whatever normal looks like will arrive. When I do get to a game, or see a parade, it will be that much more special.

Many moms and dads cannot afford to attend these events- pandemic or otherwise. Some never do make it to the yard. Keep those in your thoughts and their Mids. Perspective is so important.

For the new moms and dads and siblings, expect the unexpected. Semper gumby doesn't quite describe what your level of flexibility will have to be. Accept that now and it will be so much easier moving forward. Grieve the things that disappoint you, briefly, then remind yourself what your kid has accomplished and what your soon to be MID will achieve.

What keeps me going is the excitement I have for his future, the leadership he has seen and learned from, the major classes he is so excited to dive into and keep afloat in. The friendships he has already made, in a pandemic, as a plebe-- will last his whole life.

Hang in there, it's an adjustment in so many ways.
